You ability to sell it does not make it perform better.

@John Faulk Jr The ability to answer the questions I first presented points to an individuals readiness to execute on the investment opportunity.

If you want to preserve the ability to 1031 exchange down the road, maybe look into different assets outside of REITs. 

People who have no business being homeowners have the ability to buy homes.There is a balance between making home ownership attainable but not so attainable that it inadvertently brings way too many buyers in to play.

I have to throw it in there for the SEO but it does make me cringe every time to worship at the altar if Google.

Quote from @Andrew Syrios: Florida just passed a bill that puts power back in the hands of property owners.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Steve K.100% agree which is why I am against people doing seller financingThey are investing in a security instrument that is typically over leveraged because they may sell a $200k home for $220k, and get 7-8% taxed at ordinary incomeI can invest in other investments and get 8-10% taxed as qualified dividends or get depreciation and have ltv’s below 70%… throw in these borrowers are typically not underwritten properly and have a high chance of failure and I scratch my head why people think this is a great ideaI think a lot will learn the hard way in the next 2-3 yearsI’m not against seller financing, I’ve used it a few times personally to purchase in order to accelerate my ability to build my portfolio.

Your ability to buy may vary depending on property type, location, age, complexity, financing, etc.  

I got a bill from them weeks after they filed my return and it was outrageous and unfair!  

Actually, I had an offer for $50k above asking but wasn’t so sure of their financial ability to close.That and this tired landlord have favorable “financial” options, as we see it.I still have a super hot market.
